“Now that the ruling’s come out, I think you owe tinfoilers at the least an apology.”
Faulty reasoning. That’s like saying that if I criticized the intelligence of someone who correctly predicted the outcome of this ruling based on which litter box their cat pooped in this morning, I should now apologize to them because they were right. Correctly predicting the “what” does not prove you were right about the “why”.
OK, then, you tell me why Roberts gave a decision that he obviously HATED giving.
And while you’re at it, why don’t you tell me why he gave an ex part invitation to Obama on the very day that SCOTUS was considering Donofrio’s eligibility lawsuit.
And why he botched the oath and then re-did it without any video taken of it.
And why he claimed that the justices can be trusted to recuse themselves when it is appropriate - even though Kagan and Sotomayor had both refused to recuse themselves after being specifically requested to do so since the case involved their very position as SCOTUS justices. Notice, also, that Kagan did not recuse herself from this decision even though she had prepared the legal defense on behalf of Obama. IOW, Kagan has committed the 2 most blatant breaches of judicial ethics which exist - deciding a case where your job is the issue being decided, and deciding a case you were previously a party to. So why did Roberts affirm the appropriateness of Kagan’s non-recusals in those 2 blatant instances (one having just occurred and the other pending in the Obamacare case)?
Let’s hear your explanations for those things.
If the REASONS for a person saying something make the difference, and not necessarily the accuracy of what they’ve said - then I’d like o hear why these are “moonbat” REASONS to suspect that Roberts is compromised.
Sure all their 'evidence' is anecdotal (like the litter in your analogy) but damn if their premises don't fit the governmnet's actions the past few years. From Patriot Act, to NDAA, to TARP, to SB1070, to ObamaCare the government rules us and our lives with an iron fist.
